  1. E-INCLUSION DAYS: “DIGITAL LITERACY” BRUSSELS - OCTOBER 12, 2010 ASPASIA – AN ICT BASED PROJECT FOR SOCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL INCLUSION OF MIGRANT HOME CARE WORKERS FEDERICO BOCCALETTI - ANZIANI E NON SOLO / ITALY

  2. TARGET GROUP • SO CALLED “BADANTI” – WOMEN, MOSTLY MIGRANT AND OVER 45, WORKING AS CAREGIVERS OF ELDERLY PEOPLE. • THEY ARE EMPLOYED DIRECTLY BY FAMILIES, FREQUENTLY IRREGULARLY • THEY CO-HABITATE WITH THE CARE RECIPIENT • THEY ARE ON DUTY 24 HOURS A DAY – THEY NORMALLY HAVE 1 AND ½ FREE DAYS DURING THE WEEK (USUALLY ON SUNDAY AND ON WEDNSDAY AFTERNOON) • THEY USUALLY DO NOT HAVE ANY QUALIFICATION / TRAINING CONCERNING CARE PROVISION

  3. IDENTIFIED PROBLEM • PROVIDE A BASIC TRAINING THAT IS ACCESSIBLE IN TERMS OF: • TIME: THEY CAN NOT ATTEND TRADITIONAL CLASSES • LANGUAGE: ITALIAN IS NOT THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE AND NOT ALWAYS FLUENTLY SPOKEN • COSTS: THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY THE TRAINING THEMSELVES AND NEITHER CAN THEIR EMPLOYERS (I.E. HOUSEHOLDS) • BUT DON’T FORGETTING THAT • THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO UP TO DATE TECHNOLOGIES • SOCIAL ISOLATION IS ALSO A PROBLEM FOR THEM

  4. IDENTIFIED SOLUTION • DEVELOPMENT OF A TRAINING COURSE THAT: • CAN BE USED AS A SELF-LEARNING TOOL BUT ALSO INTEGRATED WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF CLASS MEETINGS (TO SUPPORT SOCIAL INCLUSION) • IS ACCESSIBLE EITHER VIA E-LEARNING PLATFORM (MOODLE) AND DVDs (FOR THOSE NOT HAVING A PC AND AN INTERNET CONNECTION) • IS TRANSLATED IN 7 LANGUAGES • CLEARLY, THE COSTS OF SUCH A TRAINING ARE NOTABLY LOWER THEN THOSE OF A TRADITIONAL TRAINING COURSE

  5. THE TRAINING TOOL • 23 DIDACTIC UNITS MADE UP OF: • SLIDE SHOWS WITH PHOTOS, TEXT (IN 7 LANGUAGES) AND AUDIO (IN ITALIAN) • SHORT VIDEOS • SELF-CORRECTING ASSESSMENT TEST • A PAPER HANDBOOK (CONTAINING THE TEXTS OF UNITS) • SLIDE SHOWS AND VIDEOS ARE ACCESSIBLE EITHER TROUGHT E-LEARNING PLATFORM OR DVDs • TESTS ARE ACCESSIBLE VIA E-LEARNING ONLY – THOSE WHO STUDY VIA DVDs ARE TESTED IN DEDICATED CENTERS (USUALLY LOCATED AT LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICES) • UPON REQUEST, A PORTABLE DVD PLAYER IS BORROWED

  6. PILOT TESTING AND EXPLOITATION • THE TRAINING TOOL HAD BEEN DEVELOPED WITHIN AN EQUAL PROJECT CALLED “ASPASIA”, THAT RUN FROM 2004 TO 2008 • WITHIN THE PROJECT, THE TOOL WAS PILOT TESTED ON AROUN 150 USERS • THE TOOL WAS AFTERWARD FURTHER IMPLEMENTED (MORE LANGUAGES MADE AVAILABLE, NEW VIDEOS PRODUCES) AND ITS USE CONSOLIDATED • IT HAS NOW BEEN USED BY OVER 1.000 CAREGIVERS, IN SEVERAL ITALIAN REGIONS – BOTH AS A SELF-LEARNING TOOL AND INTEGRATED WITH CLASSES.

  7. EXPLOITATION / 2 – CARE TALENTS • WITHIN A LIFE LONG LEARNING / LEONARDO PROJECT CALLED “CARE TALENTS” ANOTHER ICT-BASED TOOL WAS PRODUCED • IT IS A SERIE OF TESTS AND EXERCISES (20, OVERALL) AIMED TO VALIDATE COMPETENCES ACQUIRED ON THE JOB BY CAREGIVERS • CAREGIVERS WITH OVER 1 YEARS OF PREVIOUS JOB EXPERIENCE CAN NOW FIRST ASSESS THEIR SKILLS THROUGH A MOODLE BASED TOOL THROUGH WHICH THEY UNDERGO DIFFERENT KIND OF EXERCISE (FILL THE BLANKS, QUIZZES, MATCHING…) • AFTER THE ASSESSMENT, USERS ARE ADRESSED TO STUDY ONLY THOSE MODULES OF THE TRAINING COURSE THAT WERE NOT VALIDATED – THUS SAVING TIME AND ENHANCING THE SKILLS THEY ALREADY HAVE

  8. RESULTS • OVER 1.000 CAREGIVERS TRAINED IN 3 YEARS • OVER 350 CAREGIVERS WHOSE SKILLS WERE ASSESSED • OVER 1.350 CAREGIVERS THAT IMPROVED THEIR CONFIDENCE WITH ICT AND COMPUTERS • IMPROVED PROFESSIONAL SKILLS • IMPROVED LANGUAGE SKILLS (THE AUDIO AND ALL TESTS ARE IN ITALIAN) • IMPROVED ICT-SKILLS • IMPROVED SOCIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THIS CATHEGORY OF WORKERS (“ I HAVE A DIPLOMA – MY JOB IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND IMPORTANT”)
